Game Mechanics are horrible...

[plainlyobvious]

This is Alia, and I'll be your navigator for today Player! Before we start I will instruct you on how to RP--that's short for "roleplaying".

First you must place your mouse cursor into the comment box. Like the one we're currently using. Then, you can use your keyboard to type in a response! Remember to check for grammar mistakes or typos before you use your mouse to click on the "post comment" button-

[SCREAMS where's the off button!? Why couldn't have Alia been from X8-]

Wonderful! It looks like you are getting the hang of this already, Player! Alright, now get ready for the next segment.

Comments

[amiannoyingyou]

Hey! That's my job!

[plainlyobvious]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to seem like I'm taking your job, but I'm simply performing mine as I normally do.

[playboyskipper]

You're a guide to all this?

[plainlyobvious]

Why yes. My name is Alia, and I am here to lend a hand to my Player. What can I do for you?

[mega_maiden]

...kids these days. Everybody holding their hands...

[plainlyobvious]

Oh, hello there. Can I help you, miss?

I JUST DIED LAUGHING XD

[unlmtdpotential]

[X is trying hard not to laugh as much as his mun currently is, oh dear lord.]

Alia... [ahem!] I'm fairly certain your mun doesn't need a tutorial on how to post here.

Ehe, yes good. : )

[plainlyobvious]

Excellent timing, X!

Player, responding to another character's comment is known as "tagging". To tag, you simply write in a response in character-

[Oh wait what's this X? Did you say her mun doesn't need a tutorial?]

Oh...sorry. I suppose I got a little carried away.

[unlmtdpotential]

[Now X allows himself to laugh a little.] It's all right.

I hope you're doing well with your mun so far.

[plainlyobvious]

[Alia will give a small laugh herself.]

Thank you X. I try my best. How are things on your end, with you and your Player?

[unlmtdpotential]

Heh, you're welcome. [He knows she tries her best though he thought a lot of the time she tried too hard.]

My mun is well, though exhausted from working three overnight shifts in a row. Luckily, she's off for the next few days.

[plainlyobvious]

That's good to hear. She should definitely take things easy. She deserves the break after such long days.

[Miss obvious, everybody.]

She should be sure to rest plenty and eat properly to recover! Humans can't keep running on low.

[trap_phantasm]

. . .

[plainlyobvious]

[That silence, that facial expression... it could only mean one thing. This girl...

SHE IS A PROTAGONIST IN NEED OF HELPING!!!!1]

Hello? Miss, are you in need of some assistance?

[whistles_the_blues]

Don't you think this is something your mun might be able to figure out for themselves?

[Because he's never given anyone a tip or hint before. Ever.]

[plainlyobvious]

As a Navigator, this is my job to help and assist my Player!

[And to obnoxiously interrupt your younger brother in the far future when he's trying to do a mission to state the obvious, duh!]

Besides that, we all have to start from somewhere, right?

[whistles_the_blues]

I suppose so. I think they might already have a feel for the advice you're giving them. You could try giving them hints toward things they might not know about.

Like I'd probably tell them to use fire weapons in the forest level.

[Very sound advice. He swears.]

[plainlyobvious]

Hints...

[Well using fire weapons in a forest level DOES make sense...]

Oh! I know! If your special weapon is low on energy, you can pick up weapon energy your enemies sometimes drop!

...except my Player isn't a Maverick Hunter so that can't be entirely useful to her.

[whistles_the_blues]

[Until the forest burns down.]

True, but you may have to find things that more apply to what she's done.

Maybe like what characters would mesh well with her play style, or who she should play with.

[plainlyobvious]

['Tis a minor consequence, I mean uh, who needs logic when you can jump and shoot at things?]

Of course! I'll be sure to put that under consideration, but until we get there--Player this is what you would call "tagging"! Tagging is when you respond to another character, ICly--that's short for "in character". Are you getting this, Player?

Now to complete your tag, you simply need to hit the "p-

[handygirl]

[Maybe she'll do this mun a favor and just slap a few strips of duct tape over Alia's mouth.]

We get it already.

[plainlyobvious]

Player, this is it! Someone has responded to your comment and-

[Oh wait, what's this? So rude. She's just trying to do her job by pointing out the obvious, gosh.]

That may be true, but I'm here to help and support my Player to have the best experience she can!

[handygirl]

I get it, I get it.

Maybe you could support them a bit more quietly.

[She holds up the duct tape.]

I could always help you with that.

[plainlyobvious]

Player, this is what's called an "In-character conflict"! Are you getting this?

[Whoa dude, is she threatening to tape her mouth shut? Yes, yes she is.]

... There's no need to resort to that. Like I've stated it's simply part of my profession.

[handygirl]

That doesn't make it any less annoying. If you catch my drift.

[She rips off a long strip and attempts to stick it over Alia's lips.]
